Quincy Douby must have wondered what all the fuss was about as an inordinate amount of media members flocked to the Air Canada Centre.

But on the same day Chris Bosh's personal life became the centre of attention, Douby was signed by the Raptors to a 10-day contract.

Interim head coach Jay Triano likes Douby's quickness and his versatility to play either position in the backcourt.

Triano may even give Douby some minutes when the Raptors play host to the Milwaukee Bucks tonight.

The move to sign Douby was prompted by news that Marcus Banks is expected to be sidelined for the balance of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a bone spur in his right big toe.

Banks was part of last month's deal with Miami, but appeared in only six games with the Raptors, averaging 2.3 points and 1.0 assists.

The 6-foot-3 Douby averaged 18.0 points in five games with the D-League's Erie Bay Hawks.

The Rutgers product entered the NBA in 2006 as the 19th overall pick taken by Sacramento.

In 116 career NBA games, all with the Kings, Douby averaged 4.1 points and 10.7 minutes.

He scored a career-high 32 points late last season in a game against the L.A. Lakers. Douby was released by the Kings on Jan. 21.

BARGNANI IS BACK?

Andrea Bargnani practised for the second day in a row and is optimistic he'll play tonight. He missed Sunday's win over the Clippers because of a sore heel, ending a streak of appearing in 130 consecutive games.

JAWAI IN WAITING

Nathan Jawai practised yesterday, but it's not certain when he'll dress for an actual game.
